Red Direct

We are currently working on Phase I for a job for Veterans Plumbing in Aleppo, PA. The scope of this project includes partial demolition of the existing building in preparation for the new building. A demolition permit was obtained in order to remove portions of the existing building in order the preserve the useful 40'x40' PEMB and the concrete slab.

Our eclipse watch party!

Red Direct/Redcon Engineering took a break from the daily grind and had their 3rd annual March Madness team building event. Each participant had 8 games to play and the best out of 3 chances was used to determine the winner of the tournament. This year's winner was Greg Arch from Redcon Engineering! Congrats Greg on your excellent game playing skills!

Progress continues for our Dayton, OH project!

Redcon Engineering and Red Direct Sweep Junior Market Livestock Hog Sale at Washington County Fair

WASHINGTON, PA, August 22, 2022 – Redcon Engineering was able to outlast a barrage of bidders to win the 2023 Grand Champion Market Hog at the Washington County Agricultural Fair last Saturday. The top-rated hog was raised by Parker Gardner of the Ten Mile 4-H Club. Bidding on behalf of Redcon was Becca Straight, wife of principal Keith Straight, P.E.. As a member of the Hickory Ag 4-H Club growing up, Becca showed market hogs for nine years.

“I personally know the tremendous amount of time and effort required to raise and show livestock for the fair. I’m glad to now be on the buyer’s side – it’s much easier,” said Becca.

Not to be outdone, Red Direct, the construction arm and sister company to Redcon Engineering, was able to outbid everyone to win the Reserve Grand Champion Market Hog. This hog was raised by Aubrie Logan of the Hickory Ag 4-H Club. Bidding on behalf of Red Direct was Ed Hirzel, P.E., president of the company. During high school, Ed was president of one of the largest Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapters in the country. He also raised swine to show at his local county fair in Southern California.

“I’ve been a lifelong supporter of the FFA and agricultural education. I had a truly wonderful ag experience and it’s an honor to give back to these worthy organizations,” said Ed.

In addition to the hogs, Red Direct also purchased the Division III Reserve Champion Lamb raised by Maksim Petronka of the Buffalo Ag 4-H Club. All animals were donated back for re-sale with the proceeds going to scholarship funds benefitting 4-H and FFA members heading to college.

This year marked the fair’s 225th anniversary, making it the longest running fair in the state.

Red Direct just finished a project in Houston, PA. Our scope included the supply of a 60’ x 133’ pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) for the expansion of the Freedom Bus Garage after damage to part of the existing building. We collaborated with our in-house engineering designers, Redcon Engineering, to provide the geotechnical report, permitting and building and foundation design.

They are finally UP! We are loving our new building signs. Thank you Precision Sign and Awning for your amazing work!

Last month, our very own Ed Hirzel and his 11-year-old daughter Juliette completed the 26.2 mile Bataan Memorial Death March at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. Ed, a veteran of the US Army Infantry Branch, was a part of the heavy division which required him to carry at least 35-pound rucksack, whereas Juliette is an 11-year-old who was among the youngest to complete the marathon. "Both of us will remember this for the rest of our lives," Ed stated.
